  1. Lots of walls of text today, so I bought a Buddha’s hand for the zest and made a ridiculously good old fashioned with the new Old Scout Rye, some Demerara syrup, a little angostura and a couple luxardos. And for a nightcap and SNF, Smokewagon UU neat. It really is a killer bottle for $57.
  2. Basically the opposite, more complex and less alcohol forward.
  3. I like Kentucky Spirit a lot, but it’s relatively easy to find single barrels which are typically insanely good and 10+ years old. They’re more low key than Russell’s picks or Rare Breed, more in line with the Master’s Keep Decades and 17 yr BiB profile. If you’re in TX ask your local Spec’s guy to see if any stores around you have any sitting around. They had at least 4 barrels in Austin/SA this summer and sold them at the same price as regular KS.
  4. The new 4 yr Old Scout is actually really good. The Redemption 10 yr barrel strength is usually around as well.
  5. Twice as old and expensive as Redemption Wheated but half as good? I’d buy at $56.99 but no more.

  7. Damn. My Hancock’s, ECBP (C918, wtf) and MWND week is paling in comparison. I did find 5 each of WT Diamond Master’s Keep Decades in CO over the weekend but didn’t want to check another bag on the way home. I need to spend a week with a suburban stripping that state clean.
  8. That’s a great bottle and I grabbed as many as I could when they were around. Tons of age on that one with the Turkey spice, love it.
  9. One in Austin, one in SA.
  10. I’ve had the 9 yr low rye at a friend’s and own a bottle of the 10 yr high rye. It’s good but for whatever reason isn’t a go-to for me. The 9 year isn’t special, but I’m sure it will be sought after and hyped eventually.
  11. I definitely grabbed two EHT Rye and traded them away this year and at one point I saw them six deep on the shelf. My guess is there was a release mid summer.
  12. I’ve been sitting around waiting for the text, but nothing is showing up.
  13. Wait, is the Shhhhhh not allowed?
  14. Pretty sure small batch is going to be just like the smooth ambler sitting all over the shelves. I love MGP but 4 year MGP is still 4 year bourbon.
  15. That’s the only rye I’ve ever paid secondary for. So damn good.
  16. Well damn, I would have been happy to fund the Willett and Lux Double Barrel.
  17. Sweet mother of pearl. I’m suddenly less impressed with the two M10 rye, one M10 Bourbon and two barrel strength rye I scored this year.
  18. Revisiting Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel tonight. Better than I remembered on the neck pour but still not sure it’s worth $20 more than a good 9-10 yr store pick.
  19. Manfred is high. Also, hell yes Dodgers. Weird that they finally won after putting USC’s finest in charge of pitching in LA. Only a couple dumbass pitching moves by LA while Cash basically screwed the pooch all the way to the L tonight.

  21. Let’s talk about what I’m going to trade you for that Boone County. Since we’re d swinging I have about 8 Blanton’s including a few store picks. Or maybe some RC6 since you’re a big into Maker’s and I don’t see any there.
  22. You find one yet?
  23. I think I described it as 25% better than repeal reserve for 2x the price. But I really like it.
  24. What. Checked the Twin app and it’s in stock at the one closest to my house. You can’t have to drive more than 10 miles right now to get one if you live in the general Austin area.
  25. I love a good tater bottle and didn’t mind the Peerless Rye, but damn that bourbon is an overpriced joke. Crack it and let me know what you think.
